Alex Trebek goes commando, then chases robber

If you’re a “Jeopardy” fan, by now you have probably already heard of Alex Trebek’s daring dash after a hotel robber and subsequent foot injury early Tuesday morning in San Francisco. But if you listen carefully to Trebek speak about the incident, he reveals a bit more about himself than his inclination to chase bad guys.

In an interview for the Today Show, Trebek says, “And I realized immediately someone had been in the room. I put on my underwear and ran down the hall to see if I could find her.”

After watching the interview clip on the Today Show this morning, Matt Lauer responded to Trebek’s account asking, “Alex Trebek sleeps in the nude?”

I had him pegged as a boxers fellow myself. Watch the clip of the Today show interview below. Trebek’s risque revelation is about one minute in.
